Toastmasters Club

When I was in Japan, my friend brought me to Toastmasters . It was 1.5 hours meeting including 10 minutes break. After meeting, I thought it was a great opportunity to improve my presentation skills. And then, some members of Toastmasters recommended me to participate in Toastmasters in Canada if I want. At that time I was not sure to do because I did not have enough confidence to join the club in Canada.

Yesterday, I participated in Toastmasters in Canada. It was a second time to be there. It was tough and still difficult to listen Canadian conversation or presentation but I thought it is a good way to improve my listening skill. My weak point is a listening skill. I should improve it.

There were about 20 people in the meeting room. I was only man who is from Japan. Of course, the members speaks English well. Sometimes I felt nervous but they helped me every time. Usually they said, "You can speak English very well. If you feel nervous, don't worry. This is a practice. You can have a lot of mistakes." The message made me relax. All of the members are so nice. I think I am lucky because I found good club.

If I could participate in Toastmasters 5 times as a guest, I would be regular member. I want to try.
